The Halifax correspondent of the Boston
Globe accuses the officers of the Saco and
Biddeford Savings Institution of compound
ing felony, because, as he surmises, they
have received back part of the bonds with
out prosecuting McNeally. The accusation
is absurd. 1t does not rest with the officers in
question to say whether McNeally shall be
prosecuted or not. Ne is under indictment,
and the bank officers could not compound
his crime if they desired to without the con-
sent of the county attorney which could not
be had. But the question of prosecuting
McNeally is not a practical one at present.
He is out of the jurisdiction of the court, and
there is no prospect that he can be got into
it. II the bank officers have got back any
Of the stolen bonds, they have not got them
back on guaranty Of immunity from prose-
cution, for in. the first place they could give
no such guaranty if they wanted to and in
the second place McNeally is not in need of
it. and would not be likely to dispose of his
stealings on any such terms.

Triumph Of the Pretty School Ma'am.
Toropto GI.,bo

In school section in Northumberland
County, where young lady is engaged
as teacher, there has been quite dispute
as to whether it would be prudent TO re-
engage her or not. It was claimed that
she had too many admirers of the oppo-
site sex, and that the section had thus been
deprived of portion of her time that
should have been spent in tho discharge
of her duties as teacher. Accordingly
at the school meeting the Trusees had an
agreement drawn up to the effect that
she should not keep company during the
coming year with any young men during
school hours, as her undivided time
should be devoted to the school. Upon
her refusing to sign this agreement it
was decided to leave it to vote of the
meeting as to whether she should be
compelled to sign it or not. show of
hands was taken, and it resulted in
tie, when the chairman, being young
man, gave the casting vote in her favor.

OUR HOMES AND OURSELVES.
Why Women, Perhaps, Have Never Become
the Great Original or Creative Thinkers of
the World

Why Women, Perhaps, Have Never Become
the Great, Original or Creative Thinkers of
the World.
The Century.
The biographies of Abraham Lincoln
have in the January number of the Cen
fury magazine devoted few pages to a
certain period of the presidents life,
when profound and overwhelming mel
ancholy swayed him-not only Lincoln
himself, but his friend Mr.. Speed, to
whom he cenfided all the doubts and tor
ments that afflicted aim, and who in time
became as melancholy as Lincoln him
self. Both these men for a year or more
are commonly supposed to be peculiar
to highly strung, nervously constituted
women. They were morbidly introspec-
tive, doubtful of themselves, preys to
harassing presentiments. The immedi-
ate cause of Lincoln's trouble was due
to an unhappy engagement. But with
that we need concern ourselves but lit
tie.
The great point of interest to my mind
lies deeper than this affair of the heart.
For this mental condition seems to me
to be the outgrowth of physical e1haus-
ton. His youth had been full of priva-
tions and hardship. The opportuni-
ties that had come to him he had sue
cessfully grappled with and overcome,
hut now came period of more or less
monotony. No great opportunity pre-
scented itself at that time to life him out
of himself-to startle his mind, as it we're
into activity-and his whole nature was
too inert, too worn out to impel him to
20 IN for
self. The condition that followed was
naturally one of amorbidness. An ILL
timed engagement was merely the ac-
cidental circumstances which developed
these sauna morbid conditions.
My reason for entering SO largely, or
indeed at all, into the question is that 1
see in the life of Lincoln and in his state
of mind at the time of which / have re-
ferred great point of likeness to the
lives of most women. We are all accused

OLD MAXIMS.

One foolish enemy is worth fifty
friends.
Hope is the cordial of the human
heart.
Only coward filings
Acknowledged faults in the offenders
face.
Real glory springs from the silent con-
quest of ourselves.
Happiness is where it is found, and sell
dom where it is sought.
In the race of life it doesn't take very
long for poverty to overtake laziness.
Some people are like boys rocking
horse; full Of motion, but no progress.
Vice stings us even in our pleasures,
but virtue consoles US even in our pains.
Good qualities, though hidden, be-
come unveiled and shine throughout the
world.
An open mind, an open hama, and an
open heart, will everywhere find an open
door.
1t is noble species of revenge to have
the power of severe retaliation and not to
exercise it.

The Cat and the Policeman.
Chattanooga Times.

There is saloonkeeper in the fourth
ward who has a big maltese tom cat,
which aside from it's feline propensities
for making the midnight hour hideous by
his squalls on the back fence, is a genuine
treasure to his owner, and has doubtless
saved him many trips before his Honor
Mayor Sharp. For some cause the cat
has formed the greatest hatred for the
police, and several of the blue coats who
have tried to make friends with the cat
have found to their sorrow how sharp are
his claws. The owner of the saloon keeps
his back door open on Sunday for the
benefit of his friends who wish small
drink. The police got wind of the viola
tion of the law and determined to make
the saloonist suffer. The cat, however,
has thus far frustrated every effort of the
officers, for every time they are seen the
cat rushes into the saloon, jumps on the
counter, and by m ewing warns the bar
keeper. Several persons who have wit
messed the feats of the feline guard verify
the above.
